Abstract
Background: Eating disorder (ED) is characterized by abnormalities in the pattern, amount, and nature of food eaten. Recent studies confirm the high prevalence of ED worldwide, which has increased significantly from 3.5% to 7.8% in the last 18 years. One of the common symptoms of ED sufferers is intentional vomiting, which can lower the pH of the oral cavity and induce perimylolysis. A new challenge is finding an innovation to alleviate perimylolysis in ED patients regarding behavior and dental treatment. Material and Methods: The literature review was carried out in PUBMED, ResearchGate, and ScienceDirect with the keywords: CPP-ACP, proanthocyanidin, chewing gum, eating disorder. Conclusions: Chewing gum containing CPP-ACP and proanthocyanidins from cranberries has been shown to have remineralization potential to help relieve perimylolysis in ED patients from a behavioral and dental perspective.
